Iraq, One Picture at a Time

[namvet]

You never know where the next story will come from.

One of my FOX colleagues, Andy Ryan, a reservist, has been deployed in Iraq for the last 18 months. We’ve been shooting emails back and forth for a while and just a few weeks ago he sent one that really caught my attention.

The email boiled down to this: Can one soldier and his camera really change Iraq one picture at a time…..

frightened?......

frightened?......

It's probably pretty scary when your neighborhood is plunged into darkness because American missiles are slamming into all the buildings around you and you wake up in cold sweats to the sounds of sirens two to three times a week. So yeah, "frightened" is probably accurate. One smile frozen in time is not proof otherwise, it is, however, proof that the human spirit is a beautiful thing.

You do realize that military suicide rates are lower than our own general civilian population for the same sex/age groups right?
